  • the day you promised you’d get a proper job.
  • Marc Andreesen’s incept date.
  • two years since you dropped out.
  • Thursday, so this must be Brisbane.
  • apparently a public holiday, that’s why nobody is here.
  • going to be just one long blur of meetings.
  • the first day back from school holidays, and traffic is at a standstill.
  • not the first day of the rest of your life but the continuation of the same life.
  • not going to be any better than it was at 3am.
  • three days since you last brushed your teeth.
  • apparently mean time before failure.
  • actually Sunday, but you’re awake now so you may as well get up.
  • the day you’ve been dreading all this time.

We get you.

M8 Ventures is a tech venture fund run by ex-founders from a product and technical background.

We focus on backing pre-seed and seed-stage tech startups which are beginning their global business in Australia and New Zealand.

We are into investing in companies at prototype and pre-revenue stages.

We aim to be the smartest, fastest and most-useful investors you will ever work with. We’d like to know if you have good ideas about how to do that better.

We’re currently setting up the fund structure and seeking expressions of interest from qualified investors with a goal of closing the fund and beginning to invest in 2018.

We’re on all the socials and we have a Squarespace, so we must be legit.
